Second in a three-book series exploring all aspects of tarot as a historical object, as a divinatory system, and as a spiritual discipline. Generously illustrated in full color, this tome extends the starter concepts introduced in the preceding volume, Tarot Fundamentals, and lays the groundwork for the final volume, Tarot Compendium. The publisher aptly describes this publication's purpose thusly: "This resource book shows that tarot is always reinventing itself while never forgetting its origins."
